OCC_Gearhead: What were you doing at my age? I'm 14.

Paul Sr: Oh, geez. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do.

Paul Jr: I can't remember that far back.

Hondaman115: Is the shop different atmosphere-wise, when the cameras aren't rolling?

Paul Sr: No.

DJ_Devo: How many bikes do each of you own? Do you have a favorite or any other special toys that you are quite attached to?

Paul Sr: I probably own 15 bikes. I have an assortment of muscle cars.

Paul Jr: I own a few bikes.

Paul Sr: And a scooter — Zuma.

Paul Jr: And I own a couple of cars. And we love our Hummers!

Paulie_4ever: Do y'all ever watch the show?

Paul Jr: Me? I try to watch the shows when they first air. We watch the shows with everyone else out there — we're watching it for the first time with everyone else, not pre -taped. So often there are a lot of surprises in there — things we forgot. But I don't watch the repeats, or the shows on DVD or anything.

Paul Sr: I watch the shows and the repeats.

Rene: What is your most memorable moment on camera?

Paul Jr: There are so many of them. We've done more than 50 shows, so there's a ridiculous number of memorable moments.

Paul Sr: I think, for me, it was the one when we were crying in the living room. We were having one of "those talks," you know, and we forgot the camera was there. It got into a heated thing and kept going on and on.

Paul Jr: It got emotional.

Paul Sr: Yeah, it got emotional. On national TV.

Paul Jr: We asked them not to air that, but they did anyway. The audience got to see a side of us that they don't normally see, so it worked out for the best.

top-girl: Paul Sr., what's your secret to have a successful business like yours?

Paul Sr: Perseverance.

Paul Jr: And a phenomenal fabricator.

daytonagirl: My family loves the show. Did you ever think that the show would be such a big hit with kids?

Paul Sr: No.

Paul Jr: We're always blown away by our demographic — by the people who watch the show. Just the other day, I was coming back from Jersey and there was a busload of older women — probably 45 and older — and they were all piling out and asking for pictures. There must have been 20 or 30 of them, and every single one of them watched the show. Older people, people who don't understand English, really young kids ... they all watch the show. We're around celebrities, and we see their fans, and our fans just blow me away every time!
